Hi all, I wonder if someone can help? *Apologies for my poor upcoming terminology* I have a shed at the end of my garden which I need to dismantle which has power going to it. The previous owner wired up the garden and didn't label things all that clearly, so I have been testing trip...

Well firstly, thank you to those of you who were able to reply without being condescending. I have not had to replace a boiler before, and having browsed online and read many stories of people receiving quotes differing by (quite literally), thousands of pounds, I thought a valid way to see...

Thank you, very helpful.

Hi, thanks for the response. Budget isn't so tight so as not be able to afford extra flue, just trying to figure out what I can expect to be quoted for. I assumed (incorrectly it would appear), that if there is an existing segmented metal flue extension weaving up from the kitchen out...

Hi guys, I'm hoping if someone can please advise? Spec: 3 bed semi 1 bathroom (we only ever use power shower (salamander pump)) 2 d/s rads 4 u/s rads Mains output is fairly low 'Generally', only use one hot water source at a time Cold water tank, and small (c/h?) tank in loft. 4"...

Just wondering how much it will help?

Yeah, taps are the problem, but holes have been drilled in bath and taps plumbed in now! Will plumbing them in to the pump help?

Hi, New bathroom suite being fitted, bath taps just been plumbed in but the water flow from them is pathetic - would take 30 mins to fill a bath! Plumber said that the taps I purchased (chrome 1/4 turn flat spout mixer), have the pipes inside reduced too small. Querying whether or not...

Pump had got stuck...working for now! thanks.

Hi all, Hoping for some advice. Old Apollo Myson boiler in house I moved into last year. Four out of six rads replaced last year in rooms being decorated. All rads worked perfectly previously, new ones are all fine (apart from one which I keep having to bleed every couple of weeks!)...

Hi, Having replaced several single and double sockets, I am testing them all with a socket tester - the one I have is basically a blue plug with an orange neon. I have had this for many years but never had any lamp indication readings. Every time, the neon glows bright orange and all is...

Thanks, two sockets will be used for general electrical appliances - lamp, tv, blu ray...etc... Should be ok?

Thanks. Pasting one at time but going up alright.

Hi, Decorating a room and replacing all old switches with new ones. Previous owner had a switch (with neon), operating a couple of sockets. I don't have the same switch to hand, but I do have a fused switch. Image below, can I use this fused switch in place of the neon one, and am I...

I've just read it is not advisable for a relatively inexperienced wallpaper hanger to hang 'paper' wallpaper as any paste on the face of of it will not come off like it would with vinyl? Any advice to avoid this happening? I would get someone in, but it's only one wall (9 sheets), and all...

Hi, I am papering a bedroom wall tomorrow and need some advice before I start. The paper is from Beauchamp Wallpaper Printworks, and is paper, not vinyl. There are no directions on the label, and need some advice on what paste to get and what the soak time would be (or how to figure out how...

Thanks all. Firstly, do I assume that both of those techniques involves cutting the paper lengthways by a couple of inches so as to get the pattern edge to match when overlapping? Not sure how easy that would be without the proper tools 9decent straight edge, 'overlapping...

Thanks for the repsonses, yes it has a pattern, and I will buy the extra roll just to be on the safe side. Can you clarify this for me? If it is trimmed into a corner, how do you get the pattern to match for the main back wall? I'm concerned that the difference in the inside wall width...
